• As a military man who has given half a century of active service I say in all sincerity that the nuclear arms race has no military purpose. Wars cannot be fought with nuclear weapons. Their existence only adds to our perils because of the illusions they have generated. There are powerful voices around the world who still give credence to the old Roman precept - if you desire peace, prepare for war. This is absolute nuclear nonsense.

• En primer lugar, la constitución debe asegurar una milicia genuina y protegerla contra una milicia selecta, disponiendo que la milicia se mantenga siempre bien organizada, armada y disciplinada, y que incluya, de acuerdo con el pasado y el uso general de los estados, a todos los hombres capaces de portar armas; y que se eviten todas las regulaciones que tiendan a volver inútil e indefensa a esta milicia general, mediante el establecimiento de cuerpos selectos de milicia, o cuerpos distintos de militares, que no tengan intereses y vínculos permanentes en la comunidad.

• La prudencia personal, aun cuando esté dictada por consideraciones que no sean egoístas, no es ciertamente una virtud especial en un militar; mientras que un amor excesivo a la gloria, apasionando un impulso menos ardiente, el honesto sentido del deber, es la primera.

• I did mega-training with ex-military men. I'd be in the gym for two hours after a 12-hour day on Spooks, and it was so hardcore I'd throw up. I stuffed myself with food and drank protein shakes to bulk up. I used to be a dancer, but I had to strap my weak ankles every day and strengthen my wrists so I could hold a machine gun. My body just wasn't up to it.

• Antes de que yo llegara a la presidencia, tras la guerra de Vietnam, se habían producido reducciones bastante drásticas, y en mi opinión excesivas, de la capacidad de nuestras fuerzas militares, y como antiguo militar -fui oficial naval profesional, oficial de submarinos- pensé que era mejor, de forma gradual y cuidadosamente planificada, aumentar la capacidad técnica, o tecnológica, de nuestros sistemas de armas.

  Jimmy Carter

• There has been a constant struggle on the part of the military element to keep the end- fighting, or readiness to fight-superior to mere administrative considerations. The military man, having to do the fighting, considers that the chief necessity; the administrator equally naturally tends to think the smooth running of the machine the most admirable quality.

• I have never met anyone who built a bomb shelter and felt protected by it. I have never met a modern military man who did not realize that military victory is a concept which became obsolete with the coming of the nuclear age, and most civilians realize this also. Wisdom demands that we stop preparing to wage a war which would eliminate mankind - and start preparing to eliminate the seeds of war.

• I was a military man for 27 years. I fought so long as there was no chance for peace. I believe that there is now a chance for peace, a great chance. We must take advantage of it for the sake of those standing here, and for those who are not here - and they are many.

• The war against Iraq is as disastrous as it is unnecessary; perhaps in terms of its wisdom, purpose and motives, the worst war in American history... Our military men and women...were not called to defend America but rather to attack Iraq. They were not called to die for, but rather to kill for, their country. What more unpatriotic thing could we have asked of our sons and daughters...?

• Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right also for this country. That our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.

• Un militar difícilmente puede enorgullecerse de haber "abatido a un enemigo dormido"; es más bien una cuestión de vergüenza, simplemente, para el abatido. Preferiría que hicieras tu valoración después de ver lo que hace el enemigo, ya que es seguro que, enfadado e indignado, pronto lanzará un decidido contraataque.

• Among the handful of British diplomats and military men aware of their government's secret policy in the Middle East-that the Arabs were being encouraged to fight and die on the strength of promises that had already been traded away-were many who regarded that policy as utterly shameful, an affront to British dignity.

• We all know why [the generals] are so critical of the defense secretary. They're being defensive because they weren't able to implement his brilliant plan [on screen: Operation 'Greet Us As Liberators']. It was so simple: Go in with 100,000 troops, topple the regime, everybody loves us, and we leave by Easter 2003. These ex-military men have their right to their opinions, that's fine. They just shouldn't voice them during a war [on screen: 'Loose Lips Sink Approval Ratings']
